answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/12/2015 answer text <p>Every death in custody is a tragedy, and we are committed to reducing the number of self-inflicted deaths in prisons. Information on all deaths in prison custody can be found in the Safety in Custody statistics which are available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/safety-in-custody-statistics" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/safety-in-custody-statistics</a>. The National Offender Management Service records “self-inflicted deaths” rather than “suicides” as a category of incident, as the intention of the prisoner may not be known reliably. These statistics are published quarterly, and the most recent publication contains information on deaths in custody up to 30 September. The next set of statistics will be published on 28 January 2016.</p><br /><p>Prisoners identified as being at heightened risk of suicide or self-harm are cared for under the Assessment, Care in Custody and Teamwork (ACCT) process. An individual ‘care map’ will be put in place and kept under review to make sure it remains suitable.</p><br /><p>The table below shows most recently published statistics for the number of self-inflicted deaths in each period since 2010, and the number and proportion of prisoners not on an open ACCT at the time of death.</p><table><tbody><tr><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td><p><br></p></td><td colspan="6"><p>12 months ending</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><br></p></td><td><p>Sep 10</p></td><td><p>Sep 11</p></td><td><p>Sep 12</p></td><td><p>Sep 13</p></td><td><p>Sep 14</p></td><td><p>Sep 15</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong> </strong>Number of self-inflicted deaths</p></td><td><p><strong>60</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>59</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>57</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>64</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>91</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>95</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><br> Not on an open ACCT</p></td><td><p>46</p></td><td><p>41</p></td><td><p>39</p></td><td><p>42</p></td><td><p>63</p></td><td><p>56</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Proportion not on an open ACCT</p></td><td><p><em>77%</em></p></td><td><p><em>69%</em></p></td><td><p><em>68%</em></p></td><td><p><em>66%</em></p></td><td><p><em>69%</em></p></td><td><p><em>59%</em></p></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>Independent investigations into every death in custody are conducted by the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman, and, where applicable, the use of ACCT will be considered as part of these investigations.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2015 answer text <p>Offenders on licence are subject to strict controls and may be recalled to custody if they breach their licence conditions. Offender managers regularly review the risk presented by offenders and may place additional controls where they are needed to protect the public.</p><p>The latest data on the number of offenders who were convicted of a Serious Further Offence of Murder are published in Annex B of Proven reoffending statistics January 2013 to December 2013, published at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/proven-reoffending-statistics-january-2013-to-december-2013" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/proven-reoffending-statistics-january-2013-to-december-2013</a>. The published figures include all offenders under any form of probation supervision, rather than just those on licence.</p><p>The information requested is set out in the table below, based on data collected under the Probation Serious Further Offence (SFO) Review Procedures. The figure for the most recent year does not include cases where an offender has been charged with but not yet convicted of murder.</p><br /><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Date</p></td><td><p>01/11/2010 – 31/10/2011</p></td><td><p>01/11/2011 – 31/10/2012</p></td><td><p>01/11/2012 – 31/10/2013</p></td><td><p>01/11/2013 – 31/10/2014</p></td><td><p>01/11/2014 – 31/10/2015</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>No of Murders</p></td><td colspan="5"><p><br></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>England</p></td><td><p>23</p></td><td><p>20</p></td><td><p>25</p></td><td><p>21</p></td><td><p>6</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Wales</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>The offences of violence against the person or violent crime in such general form do not fall in scope of the Probation SFO Review Procedures.
